Exmoor Economy Research

Rural Enterprise Exmoor Vison Survey , Published June 202

The vision survey sought the views of businesses, community representatives and young people, asking what they thought and hoped the Exmoor economy might look like in ten years time. This fed into the development of a new vision for Exmoor's economy.

Research report, published June 2020

The initial research feeding into the Rural Enterprise Exmoor Vision aimed to map the true extent of business activity across the National Park and to engage with a range of these micro-businesses who have chosen to operate within Exmoor to report their views. As the primary data for the Rural Enterprise Exmoor work was collected prior to the impact of Covid-19 on the UK economy a further survey was undertaken to sit alongside the baseline data collected  to provide an overview of the economic impact of Covid-19 on the economy.
